Sometimes at night I’ll see the pots and pans in the dish rack and I’ll think, “I should put the dishes away now.”

Then I say, “Nah, I’ll do it in the morning.”

I leave the crap for my morning self to do. It’s as if I treat my morning self like the help.

But I want to be kind to my morning self.

I take it from my husband, Jonny, who sets up our coffee cups the night before so they’re ready in the morning. He’s showing consideration to our own selves.

We can spend five extra minutes at night being kind to the one who gets up in the morning. It’s like a little bit of extra soul loving. It’s showing ourselves that we care.

Each night we can do one thing to care for the person we are who wakes up in the morning.

When I found the above photo, I googled morning coffee and came up with this link that has tons of information for freelance writers. So, now that I’ve had my second morning coffee, it’s time to get cracking.
